Saving a Play List

If you want to play most of a CD, and just “omit” a few tracks, you may want to use this shortcut:

1.Load a CD, and wait for the display to show the number of tracks and their total playing time.

2.Make sure that the Nº390S is in the programming mode by clicking the mode button until you see PROGRAM in the display.

3.Using the next and previous buttons (or the numbered buttons on the Remote Control), select the first track you want to eliminate from your program.

4.“Omit” the track by pressing mode –. This action deletes the track from the current play list, indicated by the PRG– in the display next to the track number.

5.Using next and previous, move to any other tracks you would prefer to skip, pressing mode – to eliminate each track from the play list. Once you are in the program mode, a P will illuminate to indicate a track is in the play list, and extinguish for any track omitted from the play list.

Once you have created the play list you want for a particular disc, you may either use it as a temporary play list (using it only for that one occasion), or save it as the default play list for that disc.

Reviewing a Play List

1.When you’ve finished adding selections, you can save the new play list by pressing and holding the mode + button.

2.The Nº390S will confirm that your play list is saved by displaying SAVED briefly (or REVISED if you changed an existing play list).

To review your play list before playing it:

1.Load a CD for which you’ve already saved a play list (the letter P will appear preceding the track number on the display); or load an unprogrammed CD, then assemble and save a play list.

2.Make sure that the Nº390S is in the programming mode by clicking the mode button until you see PROGRAM in the display.

3.Without selecting any particular track, press mode +. The display will show the first selection in your play list. For example, if track 3 is the first selection in your program, the display would show P03 > 1st.
